GG supported Usenet poorly at best. Their pulling the plug is a tacit admission of incompetence.
Leaving T.O. because of that is an equally
poor excuse.

The problem I see is that the chances to attract anyone new to a Usenet group,
after GG stops supporting them, are minimal. We've already seen most of the
discussions moving elsewhere, to blogs, Facebook etc And as a result discussions
here now often feel stale, saying the same things to the same people over and over
again. So even if most of the remaining regulars moved (back to) newsreaders, that
would just postpone the inevitable

Postponing the inevitable is what medical care is all about, but that's
not a reason to reject it.
